Let’s talk cornbread! Now I know that I have many recipes for southern cornbread here on I Heart Recipes. However, my readers absolutely LOVE the very first homemade sweet cornbread recipe that I posted many years ago. The sweet cornbread is simply the best. It’s better than Jiffy, and all those other store bought cornbread mixes out there. It always comes out so buttery and moist, it’s just the perfect cornbread. The only probably with my previous cornbread recipe was the amount that it made, and one of the ingredients.

People wanted MORE cornbread! So this time around I pretty much doubled the recipe so that you can make the cornbread in a 9×13 bake dish. Also instead of using self rising flour, I will show you how to make this sweet cornbread recipe with simple every day all purpose flour. So yes – more cornbread, and more simple ingredients!

So lets talk about what makes this cornbread so freaking special. WELL, I unlike moist cornbread recipes, this southern sweet cornbread is EXTREMELY moist. I use a nice amount of salted butter ( remember to use salted, not unsalted for this recipe darlin’!) The butter works it’s magic along with the other ingredients, and after the southern sweet cornbread is done, you won’t need to add anymore butter!

Now, what’s my secret ingredient? Yup I have one for this amazing sweet cornbread recipe! Well, instead of using just simple white sugar, I also use brown sugar! Yup, you read right! Brown sugar definitely puts this cornbread recipe in a league of its own. When I tell you that this is the BEST sweet cornbread, I mean it!!

Thank God for you coming up with This RECIPE!!! Let me tell you, this cornbread is such a hit with my family that I’ve made it TWICE in three days! The first time I only had one stick of butter so I used a cup of oil, this time I ran out of butter so I used 1.5 cups of oil, but it’s still a hit! During the summer it’s hard to keep certain ingredients in stock because there’s a house full of kids at all times, but thank you for this receipe! This is my go to recipe for cornbread from now on! ❤️
